Unpub Iis,led Laws.

There were several Of the laws
passed by the last legislature which
were not published in the law supple
ments but are nevertheless in force
One which has been the subject of
general inquiry is the law authorizing
the payment of 4 bounty for killing
GOPHERS AND BLACK BIRDS.
It provides for the payment. or
warrant issued by the county auditor
on the county treasurer of five cents
for every pocket gopher and three
cents for all other kinds and five cents
for black birds killed in the months
of April, May and June. Five cents
per dozen will be paid for killing in
July, August and September. We
understand that it is optional with
the commissioners to adopt the pro-
visions Of this law.
Below is a list of the more impor-
aant of other unpublished laws:

This startling coercive policy OF

liberty and law, earnest protests and
fearless expressions Of condemnation.
Every American citizen, however
removed from Irish blood, will accept
1t rs the boldest assault upon the
inalienable rights of man that Eng
